Safety Chris Hope missed a second straight day of practice, but Coach Mike Munchak hasn’t ruled him out.

“He’s one of those guys that’s kind of a ’tweener if we want to play him or not,” Munchak said. “He’s got a little banged-up knee and elbow, nothing that would be a problem if we played this weekend, but something we may end up holding him (out) over.”

The night ended early for cornerback Pete Ittersagen, who was flattened while defending a pass five minutes into Monday night’s game against the Cardinals.

Ittersagen was knocked out and suffered a concussion, but did manage to get to his feet and walk off the field after doctors attended to him.

“I don’t really remember too much, but from what I’ve been told, I took an inside release and in the crossfire, I just took a shot to the side of the helmet,” Ittersagen said. “The game was kind of a blur and definitely the first half I don’t really remember.”

The Titans brought Pete Ittersagen aboard for Monday’s practice, following injuries to Rod Hood, Jamar Love and Tye Hill. Love was waived/injured on Monday to make room for Ittersagen, a 5-foot-10, 189-pounder who saw some preseason action for Indianapolis last season as a rookie out of Wheaton College.

“Yeah, this league is a league of opportunities,’’ Ittersagen said. “You have to come in and make plays, prove to be valuable to the team and defense. I’m just hoping to do that. I love this game. It’s my passion.’’

Ittersagen also saw some action as a returner during Monday’s practice.

“That’s something I’ve done before,’’ he said. “I love doing it. It’s a big part of the game. I hope I can contribute here in terms of that and be a playmaker back there.’’

Coach Jeff Fisher said Ittersagen was the best of four or five corners the team worked out Monday morning.

Dealing with a lot of injuries at the position, the Titans have signed cornerback Pete Ittersagen. The 5-foot-10, 189-pounder saw some preseason action for the Colts last season as a rookie out of Wheaton. The Titans released cornerback Jamar Love, who was on the Physically Unable to Perform list, to make room for Ittersagen.
